137 Words1 Pages
Aminata Diallo grew old through a life of slavery and freedom, but she carried all her burdens with her throughout that journey. She worked to stay alive and got very little rest. She gave a story of her life to her daughter, and the stories told to the parliamentary committee and the tribe in Africa would live on. She lost her true love, Chekura, even though they boarded the same ship, she left with British and American officials. Aminata wanted to be with him, she wanted him to be free, but he wasn’t. She was skeptical every time he came around, wanting to know how long he could stay and when he could return. Their marriage lasted years without communication; May found her mother years after being stolen away; Aminata returned to Africa.
